70S - 132S SUN LOUVRE www.luxalon.com Sun Control Systems
Luxalon 70S - 132S Sun Louvre System Description The Luxalon 70S and 132S Sun Louvre system consist of sturdy Z-shaped panels. The panels are used to achieve a crisp Sun Louvre or façade and result in an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance. Roll formed aluminium panels of 70 or 132 mm wide Coil coated with UV and scratch resistant Luxacote coating available in 14 standard colours. Other colours on request. Stylish carrier rails with sliding brackets allow a variable module by which openness and shading angle can be selected 70S and 132S panels can be combined on one support rail The Luxalon 70S and 132S system can be installed in three ways: - Projected horizontally at the top of the glazed area or roof edge - Positioned vertically - Combination of horizontal and vertical - Corner solutions available The vertical Luxalon 70S and 132S sun louvres combine multiple functions in a single product: - The Z-shaped panels have been specially developed as a Sun Louvre system for façades exposed to low sun angles - It can also be used as ventilated façade system. Covering for example installations on rooftops or staircases Horizontal Vertical Angled Combination Practical Applications - Horizontal projected 70S - 132S Sun Louvre system For high sun angles the horizontal application assures a constant and reliable sun control system during sunny periods. - Angled projection 70S - 132S Sun Louvre system For high and medium sun angles, angled applications give even more shade. - Vertical 70S - 132S Sun Louvre system For lower sun angles the vertical application allows a reliable sun control system with visibility to the outside. - Combined 70S - 132S Sun Louvre system The best sun protection can be obtained using a horizontal or angled louvre in combination with a vertical louvre. Maximum inside and outside visibility can be obtained with this solution.
Possible Configurations The variety of brackets with the different accessories allows for various ways to configure the 70S - 132S Sun Louvre system. Using both the 70S and 132S in one system gives the opportunity to play with lines and areas on the buildings façade. The wall/façade mounts are usually designed and manufactured by the installers, a standard bracket is available. Details Assembled system 6 41,5 7 98,5 132 70 70S Back view 132S Installation Luxalon 70S - 132S allows easy and quick installation with very few tools. The brackets are usually pre-assembled and along with their spacer plates just slide into an interlock in the carrier rail. Once the steel brackets have been fitted to the façade, the carrier rail with brackets are easily fitted. The S-shaped panel locks into the brackets with a positive click. The fascia (option) is fixed to the ends of the carrier profiles. The panels are generally installed in full length sections and as such cutting is only necessary at the end of the façade. The bracket allows the panel to be snapped into place with no tool required.
Maximum Span - Panel Span The panel span in relation to the wind load (pressure or suction) can be calculated from the graph below. There are two columns per wind load type based on the application. If a continuous Sun Louvre system is used the panel on 4 or more carriers graph should be used. If only 2 or 3 carriers use the panel on 2 or 3 carriers graph. Snow load calculations are identical to the calculation for wind load.

For corners, roof edges or special designs, wind pressure/suction will be determined with due consideration of the relevant local country s Standard Code of Building Practice.

The self supporting carrier system with its adjustable panel brackets Brackets designed to fit the 70S panel and for the 132S panel Modules available for the 70S: - 70 mm (48 mm spacer + 45 mm bracket), shadow angle 0º - 85 mm (63 mm spacer + 45 mm bracket), shadow angle 19º - 110 mm (88 mm spacer + 45 mm bracket), shadow angle 44º Modules available for the 132S panel: - 132 mm (88 mm spacer + 45 mm bracket), shadow angle 0º - 171 mm (2x 63 mm spacer + 45 mm bracket), shadow angle 21º - 221 mm (2x 88 mm spacer + 45 mm bracket), shadow angle 42º - Corner solutions There is a solution for every corner angle, some standard configurations are shown. 70 Mitre cut 85 110 Straight cut 171 Open corner 221 132 21º 42º 21-6 21-5 21-7 19 8 7 21-4 21-8 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 21-3 21-9 9 Carrier System Sun angles and module dimensions 21-2 21-10 21-1 21-11 21-12 15 14 13 12 11 10
Material Specifications - Base Material Luxalon 70S - 132S Sun Louvre panels are roll formed from 0.6 mm thick pre-painted stove enamelled aluminium strip of a corrosion resistant alloy EN-AW-3005 or its equivalent (according to EN1396 and ECCA). All aluminium products can be recycled for the full 100% requiring very little energy. - Finishes Luxalon has developed special products for the exterior environment which have properties capable of meeting the severe requirements for external use. The products come with a special high quality surface treatment: Luxacote. The panels get a unique finishing touch with our own industrial coil coating process. Independent tests have proven the excellent characteristics of Luxacote. Colour and gloss stability. The topcoat contains a solid UV filter which provides optimum colourfastness. Abrasion resistance. The topcoat also offers a better resistance against scratches and the fine structure hides minor damages incurred during installation. Corrosion resistance. The alloy and pre-treatment ensure optimal corrosion resistance. Luxalon products have been subjected to real-life tests as well as laboratory corrosion and UV tests. Solar Protection Tool In order to design the optimal Sun Control System for buildings Luxalon has developed a Solar Protection Tool. This tool takes into consideration the orientation of the façade and the position of the building. It shows the sun and its shading during the day and throughout the year in and on the building. These calculations are made for projects by our project support team. For additional information contact the Luxalon sales office. Product specifications are available in digital format. - Luxalon Colour Range There is a wide standard colour range for Luxalon 70s and 132S Sun Louvres. See the Luxalon exterior colour program.
